Show Notes
60,000 Cantabrians are set to descend on the Canterbury A&P Showgrounds for the Christchurch Show.
The three-day event kicks off today in place of the usual New Zealand Agricultural Show.
The previous board had called it off due to financial struggles before local company, Event Hire came to the rescue in June.
Director Phil Anderson told Ryan Bridge they're hopeful to turn a profit, although a show like this is costly.
He says this event in particular has been a strong learning curve, with heavy amounts of infrastructure required.
